Enea walks back in. “I’m getting a few more guys to come down here. And I’m sending some to Wintervale. I don’t want anyone alone anymore. I already talked to Lukas and he knows what’s going on.”
“Did you hear anything else about my Felicity? And Armando?” I ask.
“No. We’re waiting to hear back from the airport police. I know it’s hard to wait, this is the part that sucks.”
I nod, because I know better than to make any faces at Enea. Tristan was right when he said he’s scary. But I’ve seen him with his wife—that’s a whole different side to him.
Felicity
The longer we sit in this room, the more worried I get. Why aren’t they coming back? Armando tried the door, but it’s locked and he said it’s a steel door. So he can’t break it down. We’veagreed that when the door opens, we’re going to make a run for it. He said my only job is to make sure I’m following him. No matter what. But if he goes down? I’m supposed to leave him and run. I don’t know if I can do that. Levi’s always saying a Marine never leaves anyone behind. Even if I’m not a Marine, I’m in love with one. So I can’t leave Armando behind.
We hear some noise outside the door, we stand up and stand behind the door. When it opens, we see a gun before anything else. Armando grabs it and turns it on whoever’s there.
“Whoa. We’re the police, are you Armando Marini and Felicity Vandenberg?”
Armando backs up, but doesn’t drop the gun.
“Show me your ID.”
The officer pulls out his ID and shows it to him. He nods and hands him back his gun. Then he puts his hand out for me to take.
“Where are the guys that took us?” Armando asks.
“We’re looking at the security system. But in this area, there’s no cameras. We were wondering if you wouldn’t mind looking at the footage we have.”
“Sure. But I need to make some calls first.”
“We’ll take Felicity with us and you can meet us in the security room.”
“No. She stays with me,” Armando says as he pulls me to him.
The officers nod and lead us to the security room. Armando makes the phone calls as we walk. He’s calling Enea and then he hands me his phone.
“Hello?” I say.
“Baby.”
“Oh god, Levi. Are you okay?”
Levi laughs. “I should be asking you that. Did they hurt you?”
“No, I’m okay. Armando made sure I knew what to do. I just need to be back with you.”
“You’ll be back with me soon. I’ll be waiting for you. Also don’t let Giovanna hear me say this. But she was right about the airlift flight. It sucked.”
“I HEARD THAT!” I hear Giovanna shout.
“Shit. Now she’s gonna hold that over me.” Levi laughs.
I laugh. “Well, she is super smart.”
“Shush. She’ll hear you.”
“Armando said after we look at the security footage, we’re going to rent a car. Then we’ll drive to Wintervale. I’ll text you when we’re in the car. I love you.”
“I love you too. Please be safe. I need you here with me.”
“I will. I promise. And you listen to Gia, I need you too.”
